April 9, 2018 - Jerusalem, Israel - WALTER BINGHAM, 94, points to his father depicted in a photo shot in Poland during World War II, as he speaks of his wartime experiences ahead of Israel's Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day. Walter's father found his death in the Warsaw Ghetto. Bingham, Born Wolfgang Billig, recipient of the Guinness World Record for the oldest radio talk show host, was born and grew up in Germany as the Nazis were rising to power.
